Abstract

Background of study: Cichorium intybus L., or chicory, is a nutrient-dense plant that has traditionally been used as a forage crop and vegetable. It is now gaining attention for its bioactive compounds, which have therapeutic potential, particularly for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.Aims and scope of paper: This systematic review examines the nutritional composition and phytochemical profile of chicory, as well as its antidiabetic mechanisms, to highlight its potential role in the prevention and management of diabetes as a functional food.Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2022 were identified using the databases Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science. The eligible studies focused on chicory’s bioactive compounds and their metabolic effects. Data extraction and quality appraisal were performed using a standardized CASP checklist, and thematic synthesis was applied.Result: 36 studies were included. Chicory was found to be rich in inulin, phenolic acids (e.g., chicoric acid and caffeic acid), flavonoids (e.g., luteolin and quercetin), and sesquiterpene lactones. These compounds improve insulin sensitivity, inhibit carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, regulate lipid metabolism, and protect pancreatic beta cells via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways. Chicory-derived ingredients are used in prebiotic formulations, functional foods, and animal feeds.Conclusion: Chicory has significant antidiabetic potential through multiple target mechanisms. However, the current evidence is primarily preclinical with few human trials. Standardized clinical studies are needed to validate its efficacy and determine the optimal dosage and long-term safety. Due to its accessibility and versatility, chicory is a promising functional food for supporting metabolic health and sustainable nutrition.

Abstract

Kaligesing Etawa Crossbred (PE) goats are local livestock with important value as genetic resources, contest animals, and potential breeding stock. This study aimed to describe the phenotypic characteristics and morphological scores of Kaligesing PE goats based on contest class and sex. The research was conducted in August 2025 in Mertak Tombok Village, Praya District, Central Lombok Regency, using a quantitative descriptive method with a field survey approach. The samples consisted of 34 male goats and 16 female goats with complete scoring data. The observed variables included head, ears, neck/dewlap, horns, body posture, hair coat, feet and legs, rewos, reproductive organs or mammary gland, tail, coat color pattern, overall body conformation harmony, and total score. Data were analyzed descriptively, while comparisons of total morphological scores were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the total morphological scores of male goats ranged from 74.1 to 83.2, with the highest score observed in Class A. Meanwhile, the total scores of female goats ranged from 71.0 to 75.0, with the highest score observed in Class B. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in total morphological scores among male classes, among female classes, or between male and female goats. Therefore, the observed variation represents descriptive morphological variation, and contest scoring can be used as a descriptive tool to evaluate the phenotypic quality of Kaligesing PE goats.
